Stamp the tree twice using Bamboo Leaves, dot Snow Pen on and heat to puff up.  Stamp berries twice using Rich Cocoa and stamp deer once using Rich Cocoa, die cut and color.  Pop up the trees on each side of the Gate sticking 1 berry twig behind each tree.  Glitter the card, trees and berries using Crystal Ultrafine then glue the deer on each side, on top of trees so that bottom of feet match bottom of trees.

My next card features the other new Gateway Die

Cut the decorative part of Gateway out of silver also cut the Happy Birthday Ironworks sentiment out of silver as well.  Glue the sentiment inside of card and the Gateway on the front (be sure to clean off any glue so that the silver stays nice and shiny).  Cut the center of Gateway at the top and bottom so that it can open. Stamp 2 Magnolia Bud branches, the birds/nest and the planter with tree stem using black, die cut all and color.  Glue stem of bud branch onto stem of planter then cut any excess off stems.  Use pop-ups to adhere the planter and branches.  Glue the nest in branch on top then glue little birds. Stamp Magnolias (small) using Rose Madder then die cut and sponge backs.  Stamp small leaves using Fern Green, die cut then sponge front and back.  Shape flowers and leaves in the mold.  Glue 2 blossoms together for each flower (or more if you like).  Pierce the centers and insert stamen (dyed with Deep Purple).  Glue 3 flowers and a few leaves to the bottom left corner so that gate can still open. Glitter using Crystal Clear, flowers top and bottom, wipe glitter off of silver where it clings.  Mix shimmer with lacquer then paint the leaves. Thanks for visiting today!

Die cut with white, the next decorative die in the Majestic Swirl X 2. Glue 1 to the easel bottom and cut the second 1 to fit step card bottom and sides.  Cut 2 of the rectangles of the Majestic Swirl out of white.  Stamp 1 of the rectangles at the top with Best Wishes.   Cut 2 corners of the Ornate Pockets out of white.  Glue the 2 corners and the stamped rectangle to the center of the step card.  Glue the other rectangle to the easel bottom.  Run a line of pearls around the rectangles top and bottom of card.  Add some pearls to the decorative corner pieces as well.  Stamp the Congrats!

Arrange flowers and leaves on the step card left side, add a sheer ribbon bow.  Cut another Bud Branch out of foam sheet and glue colored branch onto it (this will be the easel “stop”).  Glue it to the easel bottom at a point that holds the card open at the right angle for display.  Add the tag sentiment and another sheer bow at the right side under branch. Use Crystal Clear to glitter the flowers and Crystal Ultrafine to randomly glitter card top and bottom. Mix shimmer and lacquer together to paint the leaves. The back flap of the step card can be used to write a personal message, it can’t be seen from the front. Thanks for visiting today! Robin Matthew 28:1-8 28 Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb. 2 And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone [a]from the door, and sat on it. 3 His countenance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. 4 And the guards shook for fear of him, and became like dead men. 5 But the angel answered and said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. 6 He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. 7 And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead, and indeed He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold, I have told you.” 8 So they went out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring His disciples word.

16 Now when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, that they might come and anoint Him. 2 Very early in the morning, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen. 3 And they said among themselves, “Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?” 4 But when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away—for it was very large. 5 And entering the tomb, they saw a young man clothed in a long white robe sitting on the right side; and they were alarmed.
6 But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him. 7 But go, tell His disciples—and Peter—that He is going [a]before you into Galilee; there you will see Him, as He said to you.”
